Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a functional orthodontic movable device.
  • the present invention relates to a functional orthodontic movable device, for correcting postural defects and malocclusions, such as overbite or the like, to be worn preferably during the night.
  • a functional orthodontic movable device comprising a front bite splint resting on the occlusal surface of the upper incisors, exploiting a specific guiding plane, and a shank that is inserted into the palatal button.
  • a vestibular arch with lugs at the level of the canines and side shields made of resin (known to those skilled in the art), and with metal bilateral rear occlusal tabs, which give balance.
  • Said prior art device is also suitable to include a plurality of small springs to vestibularize the front elements, i.e. expansion springs.
  • Further embodiments of said known functional orthodontic movable device can also comprise, in particular in order to achieve an improved effect for the purposes of treating malocclusions (and, in particular, of overbite), a second front bite splint, superimposed on said first front bite splint at a distance of around 3 mm, said bite splints being joined by means of a rear hinge, in order to limit the level of overall elasticity of the device.
  • a functional orthodontic movable device comprising two symmetrical lateral pairs of metal bite splints mutually superimposed at a slight distance, in each of which a respective bite splint rests on the occlusal surface of corresponding upper molars and premolars, and also including a vestibular arch with lugs at the level of the canines and side shields made of resin.
  • the considerations expressed above for the device comprising a pair of front metal bite splints, mutually superimposed at a slight distance, are also valid for this latter device.
  • said known functional orthodontic movable devices have some problems. Firstly, the structure of said known devices does not allow sufficient compliance with any postural and/or speech therapy requirements, particularly due to the lack of space for movement of the tongue muscle when the device is worn by the person.
  • said known devices do not allow the lingual spot to remain free and the tip of the tongue to be disposed in the upper back-papillary area, in which there are at least five points known as postural exteroceptors where it is essential for the tip of the tongue to be positioned.
  • the present invention taking account of the above and starting from the notion of the aforesaid problems, intends to provide a solution thereto.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a functional orthodontic movable device that allows sufficient compliance with postural and/or speech therapy requirements, in particular providing a space for movement of the tongue muscle when the device is worn by the person.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a functional orthodontic movable device that does not require the presence of the shank of the double bite splint in the area of the palatal rugae.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a functional orthodontic movable device, which allows the lingual spot to remain free and the tip of the tongue to be disposed in the upper back-papillary area, in which there are at least five points known as postural exteroceptors where it is essential for the tip of the tongue to be positioned. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a functional orthodontic movable device which has an essentially simple structure that is easy to use and maintain, and which can be produced in a relatively simple way and with essentially limited costs.
  • the present invention provides a functional orthodontic movable device, the essential characteristic of which forms the subject matter of claim 1. Further advantageous characteristics are described in the dependent claims.
  • said functional orthodontic movable device comprising a pair of front metal bite splints, mutually superimposed at a slight distance, one of which rests on the occlusal surface of the upper incisors, respectively two lateral symmetrical pairs of metal bite splints mutually superimposed at a slight distance, in each of which a respective bite splint rests on the occlusal surface of corresponding upper molars and premolars, and also including a vestibular arch with lugs at the level of the canines, side shields made of resin and, in combination with said pair of front bite splints, metal bilateral rear occlusal tabs, is characterized in that in each pair of said superimposed metal bite splints, a first and a second bite splint are movably connected to each other by means of a plurality of stiff filiform guiding supports, fixed with respect to one of said two bite splints, guiding the occlusal
  • the functional device is indicated, as a whole, with 10.
  • Said device 10 comprises, according to the prior art, a first front metal bite splint 11, which rests on the occlusal surface of the upper incisors, including a vestibular arch 12 with lugs at the level of the canines, side shields 13 made of resin and metal bilateral rear occlusal tabs 14, and a second bite splint 15 superimposed on said first bite splint 11 at a slight distance.
  • said first 11 and said second 15 bite splints are movably connected to each other by means of a plurality of stiff filiform guiding supports 16, fixed with respect to said second bite splint 15, guiding the occlusal plane, the other of said bite splints 11 being limitedly mobile in relation to said same guiding supports 16, substantially in parallel arrangement to said occlusal plane.
  • elastic means 17 for contrasting the mutual closure of said first 11 and second 15 bite splints.
  • said second bite splint 15 is arranged elastically floating within the limits of a stroke allowed by said guiding supports 16, with respect to said first bite splint 11, parallel to said occlusal plane, so that the lingual spot remains free and the tip of the tongue can be disposed in the upper back-papillary area.
  • said elastic means 17 are arranged at said guiding supports 16, which pass through corresponding holes provided in said first bite splints 11 and, when said elastic means 17 are elastically compressed, said holes allow the partial escape of the same guiding supports 16 with respect to said first bite splint 11, to a back-papillary area of the oral cavity, without teeth and mucosa.
  • said filiform guiding supports 16 have a free end thereof folded substantially to 90 degrees, extending beyond said respective holes, and resting against said first bite splint 11 ( Figs. 2 and 8 ).
  • said filiform guiding supports 16 are coupled and U-shaped, with vertical branches extending through corresponding holes of said first bite splint 11 and have a free end thereof folded substantially to 90 degrees, and resting against said first bite splint 11, while the intermediate portion of each pair of said supports 16 is fixed to said second bite splint 15 ( Fig. 7 ).
  • said elastic means 17 advantageously consist of helical springs.
  • each of said helical springs 17 is substantially contained in a corresponding essentially vertical filiform element of a respective guiding support 16.
  • each of said helical springs 17, in fully compressed condition, is arranged as a flat packet spiral.
  • said device 10 includes a palatal button 18 essentially arch-shaped between said metal bilateral rear occlusal tabs 14, so that the lingual spot remains free ( Figs. 1 to 4 ).
  • the device 10 according to the invention can also include two fixed stiff metal wires 19, having free ends respectively interposed between the sixth teeth of the mesial area and the fifth teeth of the distal area of the upper jaw bilaterally ( Fig, 2 ).
  • said metal wires 19 have the other end thereof fixed with respect to said bridge 18.
  • said second bite splint 15 includes a metal wire 20 clamped in the middle of the same bite splint ( Fig. 1 ).
